026

I have been looking for another 026 for a while, found one on kijiji, ad stated “ runs just like it should”. Talked a bit with the fella and got him to ship it to me. Guy leaves the bar and chain on his bench and ships just the head. I check it all out, put some fresh gas in and it fires up...

Hey guys, After searching all of the threads on here and trying my hardest to find a solution to my stubborn 026 not starting I’ve decided to make a post and ask for help I’ve had this 026 for about a year now and it ran fine but would get hot after use and not start so I let it sit for about...

Hi, just got a 026 from a friend a he told me that he can not start (hard to start) it he needs to pull it 12 to star. our local Stihl dealer look at it and told us that is a model defect. do you know something that I can do for that This was only use for 10 contracts and stored is like new...

Converted an 024 super on an 026. Got everything together. Zero leaks from the case or cylinder. Sparked it up, turned it to the side and it dipped in idle. Grabed the brake clean and found a leak behind the carb. Confirmed it was not the fuel line or impulse line. I cannot, for the life of me...

A little background. At this point, I have two Stihl 026s. There are a few reasons I'm looking at switching to the MS260 filters. 1. They are bigger, so presumably breathe better 2. I've had terrible luck with AM filters for the 024/026 (I've yet to find one that operates the choke correctly)...

Powerhead only. 026 black switch in great running order. A little bit ugly. Has some scuffs where a guy decided to carve his name into the saw, I sanded that off. I went through the carb and blew out the filter. Has a 325 sprocket on it. Has been running excellent. Oils like crazy. I have...

After rebuilding this turd saw from 2 different saws a ms260 and 026 i kept it mostly with 026 parts except 1 case half, so after bunch of testing and working up in steps to porting this 026 (48.7cc model) After not satisfied turning a 16 inch with 325 i start to port this saw I was on...

I have several Stihl 026 chainsaws For sale. All excellent used condition. All excellent compression 160-165psi. Most are later fixed H carburetors. I have gone through a few and replaced some lines and filters a a couple of the carbs with aftermarket fully adjustable carbs. I will include...

These cyl's had light transfer that has been cleaned without acid. Bores are clean with no heavy scratches or gouges. No broken//missing cooling fins,stripped holes, or mounting issues. Any questions or more pics needed just message me. PayPal goods and Services as payment type. Other forms of...

My neighbor gave me a Stihl 026 "pro" because he flat out couldnt start it. He bought it from a Craigslist ad. The guy had a ton of saws and charged a fair price. But.... I think he gave Tony a mishmash of parts that ran great that day.... I could start it ...but only after a ton of pulls...

HELLO/INTRO: Hello there! I'm a newbie to the site and a little green with chainsaws too. BUT I'm making up for lost time, as I've seriously caught the chainsaw bug. As I review tools over here, I already have a couple of small ones I didn't have to buy (Echo 352 and Dewalt 60V max). But I'm...

Hey everyone! Just thought I would share what I discovered after buying a nice used 026. In the last picture, for any of you boaters out there, maybe even some non-boaters from Michigan, Charlie Winn was a founder of Four Winns boats. I put it together after starring at it and thinking about...

Trying to free up some garage space so I’m trying to offload my 026 stuff.. would like to sell all as a whole but can do individual... $450 takes the whole thing (whole chainsaws not included)... price is negotiable can ship from ND at cost. 13 carbs plus other pieces, 3 recoils, 16 cylinders...

My 026 has a problem with chain loosening. Within minutes of cutting it is sagging, to the point that it fell off once. This sounds weird but I found a bolt (looks like maybe a 6mmx25mm or similar in size) hanging out of the bottom of the saw, in the gap on the clutch side. Also, that gap...

Hey guys, unfortunately I did not grow up in a mechanically inclined family so everything I’ve learned has been self-taught or researched online. My greatest accomplishment was rebuilding my push mower’s carb and getting it to run. I know, pretty lame. My father-in-law paid $25 for an 026 that...

Good evening everybody! I've been creeping around this site for a while but this is my first post! I recently purchased a used Stihl 026 Pro. I didn't really need it, but I've been wanting a chainsaw for a while. I had a branch come down in my yard from a storm so that's how I justified the...

Hi all, I have an early model Stihl 026 (with the red master control switch) that is in decent shape for it's age. I'm not the original owner and bought it second hand. I recently replaced the air filter, carb, fuel line and impulse line with new Stihl OEM parts. The saw holds pressure and...

I'm trying to make a cheat sheet or pocket card for the guys at work to use when tuning saws. I'm having trouble tracking down the suggested idle settings for a few models that we own. I know tuning to ear is a better practice, but I need a quantifiable range to use as a baseline for the ones...

Im looking for a Stihl saw in either a 026/260/261 and the like or a 036/360/361/362. Not picky on much, just looking for a clean saw at a good price. i would even go for a 044/440/441 if the price is right. Bar length is not a major detail to me either. Thank you!

Hey all, I've torn down my 026, non pro. My plan is to do the crank seals, new piston, and hopefully clean up the oem cylinder. However, I need your help to know if my jug us redeemable. I'll attach some pictures. If it is redeemable, how do I clean it up? At what point should I replace...
